Even with steady referrals, a solid team, and growing demand, he and his VP were stuck in chaos. Firefighting every day and turning away work they wanted to take. The bank account did not match the effort. After a single evaluation, we unlocked $400,000 in hidden profits, all without adding a single new project. The fix was systematization, better pre-construction planning, documented handoffs, and getting the leaders out of the operations.
